My quick guess is that gmime stops header processing at that point, and
all the headers we require are after that invalid header. Our old header
parser was a bit more relaxed in that sense, and probably just skipped
the header.

If it were a real email and not spam, I'd be interested... this could be
intentional to trick a spam filter.
